Unexpectedly she receives a reply which will change both their lives. Inspired by the letters which American writer, Flannery O\u2019Connor, sent to a young woman who for a long time remained anonymous, and known to the readers of this correspondence as A., The peacocks have the last word tells the story of one of the most interesting women writers of our times through the unexpected and sudden relationship with her new admirer. Just by wanting to remain known only as A, the narrator of the story becomes a metaphor for the reader who meets the authoress through her books and shares with her discoveries and passions. A relationship which leaves its mark and changes one\u2019s life until the final outcome of death which is not the last word on existence, because, as Flannery O\u2019Connor wrote, \u201cthe Peacocks have the last word\u201d. The show, under the patronage of the Rome City Council, was presented as a stage reading in 2004 at the Centro Studi americani, during a conference to mark the forty years anniversary of Flannery O\u2019Connor\u2019s death. In 2007 it had its Rome debut at the Sala Uno Theatre and it repeated at the Teatro Belli. In April 2009 it played at the Pontificia Universit\u00e0 della Santa Croce in Roma, in the course of the events organised for the international conference Reason Fiction and Faith, dedicated to Flannery O\u2019Connor. The text, originally written as a diploma essay by Maria Francesca Destefanis at the Holden School, has won the XXXI Flaiano Drama prize in the Under 35 category.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The epistolary friendship between the American writer <strong>Flannery O\u2019Connor<\/strong> and a young university student.
